# Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson: A new farm bill that puts farmers first | House Agriculture Committee

> House Agriculture Committee Chairman GT Thompson published an op-ed calling for a new five-year farm bill rather than another extension of the 2018 law. He framed the 2025 reconciliation law as a partial 'Farm Bill 1.0' and said standalone legislation is needed to complete reauthorization.

## Why it matters

Farm bill policy shapes long-term support for row crops and livestock, but this is an opinion piece with no immediate change to supply, demand or prices for feed ingredients.
